Week in Review: Hezbollah’s Missile Upgrade, China’s New Bridge, Budget Showdown in the EU, and Much More

Show Notes

  • Intelligence reports say Iran supplied Hezbollah with equipment to increase the accuracy of its missiles, making the terrorist group a much greater threat to Israel.
  • China unveiled the world’s longest sea bridge, demonstrating not only its engineering capacity but also tightening its grip on Hong Kong.
  • A showdown in the European Union: The European Commission rejected Italy’s new budget, but Italy says it won’t change it. This demonstrates how the EU in its current form cannot function.
  • Feminists in the United States are angry at Brett Kavanaugh’s joining the Supreme Court and say it’s time to burn patriarchal institutions to the ground.
  • We’ll also talk about United States President Donald Trump threatening to get tough with Israel, South Korea preparing for a future without the U.S., a European court fining a woman for stating unflattering facts about Islam, and pipe bomb package warfare in America.
